abstract: 'A session-based engine for cognitive diagnostic computerized adaptive testing
  (CD-CAT), the application of adaptive testing to cognitive diagnosis models. Three
  models are supported: the deterministic inputs, noisy "and" gate (DINA), the deterministic
  inputs, noisy "or" gate (DINO), and the generalized DINA (GDINA) model. Item selection
  criteria include Kullback-Leibler (KL) information, posterior-weighted Kullback-Leibler
  (PWKL), modified posterior-weighted Kullback-Leibler (MPWKL), and Shannon entropy
  (SHE). Latent attribute profiles are estimated by maximum likelihood estimation
  (MLE), maximum a posteriori (MAP), or expected a posteriori (EAP). Content balancing,
  item exposure control, and shadow testing are configurable through constraint functions.
  The implemented methods follow Cheng (2009) <https://doi.org/10.1007/s11336-009-9123-2>
  and de la Torre (2011) <https://doi.org/10.1007/s11336-011-9207-7>. Designed for
  real-time, item-by-item adaptive applications.'
